Been wanting to do this for a while and now I’ve made the leap to make a dedicated brand for my Photo & Video work. Please make sure to follow my IG @photovideobylive and facebook at https://www.facebook.com/photovideobylive/

Miss doing cover art so I decided to keep my skills sharp with some art of my own. Messing with my strobe lighting trying to replicate the lighting in this scene. Also used element 3D to model a gun. Added some dust particles, muzzle flash, light leaks and adjustments to lighting. Also added some tattoos by cutting out existing tattoos then converting them to black and white, adjust levels then placing on skin with multiply blend mode.

Recently I had a chance to work with @sliktattoos (IG) and it was fun working with him and his shop near downtown San Jose. I’m a huge fan of low lighting type of shoots and this was one I was able to have creative freedom to do so. Here are some shots .

So I recently invested a chunk of money on the very nice Fujifilm X-T2 and had a few primes to play with. I won’t get into details on this post but here are some example shots I took with it today. Also I shot in RAW and in the first color filter which I think it’s called STD.
